Longer hair is playful and feminine and can be styled up or down in numerous ways. Women with round faces can also rock longer hair with the appropriate cut and styling. Below, you’ll discover some of the finest long hairstyles that slim round faces and highlight your best facial features.
#1: Extended Curtain Bangs with Deep Roots
Longer curtain bangs provide an ideal introduction to bangs as they effortlessly grow out and blend seamlessly with the layering of the face frame. Curtain bangs will be cut at an angle and should be blow-dried back away from the face. Deep roots are achieved by painting highlights away from the roots or a root smudge over traditional highlights to create a smooth outgrowth.
#2: Soft Curls with Side Bangs
This style is gentle, romantic, contemporary, and complements various face shapes and hair textures. With the ideal blend of product, curl, volume, and pinning, this stunning look becomes a lasting classic. I adore how the hue enhances the style, and the style enhances the hue.
#3: Effortless Layered Styles
Choose long layers with extended face-framing. This style is particularly flattering for those with long locks. Curly or wavy-haired individuals will appreciate its low-maintenance quality. The ends will appear light and airy while flowing in well-defined waves or curls. For those who prefer to air dry, a bit of hair oil or curl/texture cream (or even a salt spray) will work wonders as a styling product.
#4: Beautiful Long Hair Featuring a Vibrant Money Piece
Enhance your beautiful long hair with a vibrant money piece to infuse a touch of summer into your look without over-bleaching. The blonde money piece paired with some lighter sections at the tips of your hair can still maintain your brunette shade while adding a playful twist and a refreshing change.
#5: Casual Long Layers with Curtain Bangs
Casual long layers combined with curtain bangs offer a playful twist on a classic 70s hairstyle. Round faces can easily appear less defined. By incorporating a soft curtain bang at the cheekbones, you can instantly enhance the definition of your face shape. This hairstyle works beautifully for those with natural texture or waves. For a light, effortless hold with definition, apply a soft sea salt spray like Rabbit Brush Goods Shag Spray to your hair.
#6: Stunning Blowout with Golden Highlights
A stunning blowout with golden highlights is currently the trend. An easy way to achieve an effortlessly chic blowout is by using Velcro or hot rollers. Both options are suitable for dry hair, but with velcro rollers, your hair can be slightly damp or almost completely dry. Start with the sections at the top of your head. Roll those back. The side and back can be rolled down or vertically, depending on the desired look. Rolling down will give you extra volume, while vertical rolling will create more bouncy curls. If you remember to preheat your hot rollers, they will perform at their best. Just allow them to cool before removing the rollers. Finish with a light anti-humectant hairspray, and you’re all set for the day.
#7: Stunning Blonde Highlights on Dark Brown Long Hair
Elevate your dark brown long hair with blonde highlights for a refreshing touch to your hair color without a drastic alteration. Blonde highlights provide a nuanced change that delivers a significant impact and can be tailored to meet your hair aspirations. The allure of highlights lies in their versatility; they can be adjusted to complement any skin tone and can be easily updated by experimenting with various toner options.
#8: Chic Sleek Hair with Extended Bangs
This hairstyle for round face shapes features a refined shag. It retains the same layering style and fringe as a shag but appears more polished and elongated. One aspect I adore about this is the fringe. I appreciate how it frames her face, allowing her to wear it straight across or parted for a more relaxed appearance.
#9: Dynamic Layered Styles
If you are thinking about this hairstyle, be sure to have sufficient hair to handle the weight reduction necessary for creating all the different layers in this voluminous technique. This cut is most flattering on women with thick hair and a round face shape.
#10: Illuminating Layers
This is a long layered haircut. I appreciate the depth at the roots and how the color transitions and brightens around the face to enhance her complexion. The long layers allow it to flow naturally without feeling too weighty.
#11: Sleek Blonde Hair Without Bangs for a Stunning Look
Long blonde hair without bangs beautifully showcases the dedication you’ve invested in growing your hair. To keep your locks healthy, leave your favorite salon with a customized shampoo and conditioner set suitable for your hair texture. Make sure to use a leave-in heat protectant like Eleven’s Miracle Hair Treatment and a nourishing mask once or twice a week!
#12: Casual & Natural Beachy Vibe
Choose a casual, natural, beachy vibe. The highlights are strategically placed to enhance brightness and depth to the natural hair color. The lighter strands in the front create a vibrant contrast around the face, while the brightness at the ends draws attention to the hair’s length. The most appealing aspect of this look is the layers of dimension created by the color, allowing it to flow beautifully. It allows the client to radiate, highlights her hair color, and introduces texture to a classic style.
#13: Sunlit Long Layers
This layered cut with a soft balayage effect beautifully frames the face and is an excellent method to create an optical illusion for any face shape. The dimension the highlights provide against a darker base can help “contour” the face by drawing attention to areas with lighter pieces and creating shadows in other areas to enhance depth.
#14: Lengthy Barbie Blonde Balayage Hairstyle
The lengthy, Barbie-blonde balayage hairstyle delivers the ideal bright blonde hue typically linked to Barbie. This look embodies the ultimate summer aura. A vibrant blonde shade of this nature pairs beautifully with a contrasting ‘money piece’ of color framing the hairline. The advantages of a ‘money piece’ consist of color longevity and enhanced brightness around your face.
#15 Stylish Long Shag with Soft Curtain Bangs
This look is a stylish long shag with gentle blonde waves and a short curtain fringe. I love the easy-going style this look offers. It complements any texture and can be tailored to fit a round face shape. A shag is ideal for anyone who wants a low-maintenance, contemporary silhouette. I suggest using products that enhance natural texture while managing frizz, such as Aveda’s Nourishing Styling Creme.
#16: Gentler Maintenance
This is for a client who loves to be blonde but prefers gentler maintenance, or lower upkeep grow out. I love the long curtain bangs for any round face shape, and the fun part is changing the length to customize the cut. We kept the bang longer for this look because of her round shape, so she can flip from side to center part when necessary! This look was styled with Arrojo Styling Whip, Set and Style Spray, Working Spray, and a Bionic 1 1/4-inch curling iron.
#17: Sleek Dark Straight Hair with a Center Division
Sleek dark straight hair with a center division complements round face shapes beautifully! The center division highlights the symmetry in your face, minimizing less flattering angles. Furthermore, the dark hue helps round features of the face look more slender and defined.
#18: Long Hair with a Middle-Parted Shag Cut
Consider a middle-parted shag cut for long hair if you have a square or round face and wish to enhance your facial features. Shag layers offer versatility and can be tailored for any face shape to achieve the desired oval face appearance. Shag hairstyles are excellent low-maintenance options because they embrace a messy texture and a more effortless style.
#19: Sleek Long Hair with Layered Cuts
This style is perfect for women seeking a manageable hair option. This cut offers a variety of styles, and it can be adapted for numerous hair types. I recommend maintaining good hair care at home with a heat protectant and oil for hydrating the ends to preserve the quality of the hair. Investing in high-quality shampoo and conditioner is also crucial.
#20: Soft Copper Long Hair with a Center Part
Soft copper long hair with a center part is a stunning hairstyle that is perfect for women with round face shapes. The face frame gently conceals some of the cheeks and jaws, giving the face a more elongated appearance. The light copper hue is often reminiscent of strawberry blonde and complements most skin tones – whether warm or cool.
#21: Gentle & Natural Layers
Choose a gentle, natural appearance in layers. It’s ideal for those looking for length and a “wow-factor” style! If you desire a look that’s simple to maintain and looks great whether it’s down or styled in a ponytail, this cut/style is perfect for you. This style is also suited for anyone wishing for movement in their hair while keeping the length intact. When crafting this style for a client with a round face, the front layers should commence a few centimeters beneath the chin.
#22: Elegant Long Layers
Embrace a flowing mane by enhancing it with a variety of layers! Now you can revel in being a long-haired lady with an array of styles to discover.

#23: Elegant Dirty Blonde Balayage with a Side Part
Try a dirty blonde balayage with a side part! You don’t need to have thick hair to pull off this stunning style. Such long haircuts for round face shapes are adaptable on thick or fine hair.
#24: Flowing Blonde Waves for Round Faces
Flowing blonde wavy hair can effectively elongate and balance a round face. Round face shapes benefit from longer cuts to create length, so maintaining longer, face-framing layers will prevent the face from appearing wide.
#25: Elegant Long Fine Hair with a Center Part
Inquire about an elegant long fine hairstyle with a center part. Long hair can be tailored to enhance your natural texture and features. Round faces can be balanced with some long face-framing curtain bangs. You could style a long haircut for round face shapes with a fringe, curling it away from the face to frame it. This will create a harmonious look by highlighting the eyes and cheekbones.
#26: Flowing Waves with Extended Bangs
Choose a long and tousled style with fringe! This long hair with bangs is ideal for those with gentle facial features and a charming smile.
#27: Stylish Bronde Locks with a Central Parting
Revitalize your look with stylish bronde locks featuring a central parting. Opting for a gentle, warm brown-blonde shade helps in preserving the health of your hair. With a blend of gold and red-brown tones, selecting the perfect shade is crucial and can enhance your features beautifully. This color transitions well as it grows out. Therefore, you’ll need to visit the salon every 8-10 weeks, ensuring that touch-ups remain infrequent.
#28: Center-Parted Long Blowout
Balance your facial features with a coordinating center part! Such long haircuts for round faces are both stylish and effective in keeping you looking adorable all day!
#29: Extended Shag Razor Cut
An extended, razored shag cut is particularly flattering for round face shapes. When utilizing a razor to style hair, your stylist can achieve a smooth transition from layer to layer, enhancing volume and adding significant texture. This combination of bounce and blending offers the perfect balance. The gentle edges framing the face also soften harsh lines that may conflict with round shapes.
#30: Trimmed Face Frame
This long shag with bangs is quite fashionable at the moment. The trimmed face frame in the front helps to open everything up and creates more movement. Given the varying lengths throughout the cut, I recommend it to anyone with naturally wavy hair. Use a leave-in conditioner and argan oil when the hair is wet and a styling paste after the hair is dry for hold.
#31: Textured Long Hair Featuring Curtain Bangs
I love to think of this style as a contemporary take on a long layered cut with additional long curtain bangs. Consider asking your stylist to maintain brightness around your face by incorporating babylights near the front hairline – similar to where young girls have their naturally blonde “sunlights.” Highlighting these areas on any natural blonde is a favored coloring technique.
#32: Sleek Jet-Black Hair with Face-Framing Layers
Try a hairstyle that showcases sleek, jet-black, healthy hair! The appearance of long, vibrant hair is timeless. It complements beautifully with a lustrous, deep black hair dye, but only on a compatible skin tone. Remember to exercise caution when contemplating permanent black hair dye. You might find that a semi-permanent hair color suits you better as it gradually fades and allows more flexibility for upcoming hair color changes. Keep in mind that switching from permanent black hair dye could require more time and may risk damaging your hair.
#33 Timeless Long Hairstyle with Effortless Beach Waves
Embrace a timeless long hairstyle that showcases texture and movement. Use a heat-protecting product before smoothing the ends. Add Loreal Hollywood Waves Siren Waves on dry hair, then use a 1-1/2 inch curling iron to create soft beach waves, alternating the direction of each curl. Next, use Loreal Next Day Hair generously to create the textured look. Finish with a small dab of Loreal Mythic Oil to create separation on the ends. This haircut works well on medium to thick hair and for women who appreciate a natural soft texture and movement.
#34: Effortless Waves with Side-Swept Bangs
This is a long layered style with a side-swept bang. I love how it balances out her face shape. On a fuller face, having a bit of height at the top and fullness near the temples balances out the fullness in the cheeks and jawline. The side-swept bang (as opposed to a traditional bang that lays fully across the forehead) leaves an opening that adds length to the face, giving the rounder face more of a diamond silhouette. The waves moving away from the face add body and softness to the look. It’s modern and romantic at the same time.
